:shhh: may open a can of worms
It's because the claim was either unfounded and/or broke the advertising code, I can't remember now

It was unfounded sami they had no proof that it did what they said they have been very clever in their rewording though and if you ask me it is still insinuating what it said before :-)

the comfort seems to be £9.55 everywhere but ASDA where it's £8.75.

Glam i have used C&G when i ran out of milk once it was all the local shop sold bubs didnt seem to notice the difference and it didnt have any adverse effects on him unlike when i tried the hipp (yucky stuff) maybe you could try swap him over. :-)

I don't really want to switch his milk again - only changed it Monday & he's back taking his milk again now. I think I'll stock up on enough for the next few weeks then once he's settled & hit 6months I'll put him on the C&G comfort follow on

thanks though - I wonder if it was the HIPP that upset him in the first place!

I know some mothers swear by hipp i cant say weather it upset J or not but it deffinately did bubs he was sick after every bottle and struggled with his poo's too. He does seem to prefer the hipp jared food though over other brands when i do give him a jar :-)

Maz - I see Jillie has confirmed it, but I went to Asda today and bought 3 tubs of Aptimil. Still £7.90 each.
Sami - It was my dad who priced the SMA at Costco as that's what SIL uses, so I never saw the tag. I never bothered asking because it made no difference to me.

i'm going to try the heinz its £6 a tin in asda.
and i think thats the 'easy on the stomach one too'

yep £6

for some reason the 'gentle on the stomach' is nealry £2 cheaper than the normal heinz stage 3 milk
